This happened today. It didn't really happen to me but I saw it.

So this car comes around the back corner of the building from the street. It's a nondescript black Lumina or some other POS car and it's not doing anything out of the ordinary, except that it's being tailed by a cop car. It pulls in to the motel next door and parks in the parking lot as if nothing is going on. Then the cop car speeds up and turns on its lights, moving into position to block one of two possible escapes. The cop steps out of the squad car and moves to the other car, and I suppose asked them for ID. I couldn't see very well from my vantage point but something was definitely going down.

For about five minutes nothing of note happened, but then another squad car showed up and blocked the other exit. I get distracted with a phone call and I keep trying to keep an eye on what's going on.

I shit you not, gentlemen: Right as the lady on the phone asks me if the motel is located in a safe area, I see a cop leap on a young fellow trying desperately to escape, pin him to the ground and cuff him. Moments later, the men are led into the squad cars and their car is towed.
